Native America Calling: Balancing economic safety and development for payday loan businesses on tribal land
Monday, February 3, 2025
Balancing economic safety and development for payday loan businesses on tribal land
A Wisconsin tribe agreed to stop operating an online high-interest loan operation in neighboring Minnesota in a lawsuit settlement just announced.
But the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians and several other tribal nations still insist on their sovereign ability to operate the businesses, despite laws in several states working to prevent consumers from falling victim to interest rates that reach up to 800% in some cases.
Join Native America Calling to talk about the struggle between tribes’ ability to operate unrestricted payday loan business — and the ongoing efforts to regulate damaging loan businesses.
